I notice the same thing - such a vibrant color and I love the varieties depending on lighting and weather!

Congrats ! I love the blue, but as I had it on my 330e, I wanted to go for something different, but lovely looking car

Incredible car and the blue on black/blue is a match made in heaven! People may say what they want about the looks, but this is the ultimate BMW that I would want to drive right now. To me, this is the sweet spot in the entire range since ever! A gutsy and silken smooth engine, a razor sharp transmission, a none intrusive AWD system that enhances the traction under difficult conditions, interiour with high-end fit an finish. What's not to like about this pleasure machine??

I think, considering what it costs, the best BMW since ever, period!

echo all your comments KoenG... well stated & thanks!!! the Car is super sharp & aggressive looking.. Much better in person than in photos like many other forum members have stated.. Stay safe over the Pond there in Europe!!

Absolutely beautiful. very jealous. I have the exact same spec on order. Except the steering wheel is on the other side. Due in 4 weeks and counting.
I will be getting PPF on the Piano black side-skirts, as I've read they get scratched and scrapped quite easily. Can you confirm if that is correct?

Interesting, I haven't followed the new BMW's a lot. I think I like the look of the 2 series better than the new M cars. Can't wait to see what the new M2 will look like.

Congats, looks real good.

Hi Mark, I only have 115 US Miles on car so not yet. But I am concerned also and will get rocker panels wrapped in PPF also. Or in fact maybe get PPF on entire frond end incl. mirrors. I was quoted $1,200 for XPEL 8mm w/10 year warranty. Have to decide soon

Good luck on your order!!

$1200 for the entire front end is a GREAT deal. I'd jump on that immediately.

Congrats on the car. Portimao is such a beautiful, deep blue.

[zipstic]

Congrats!

What has impressed you most about the car, that you didn't know going into it, over the first 115 miles?

They look fine on the mobile app

[ice31]

To be honest, this might be the best colour on the 2 series... I know everyone is hyped about the purple but this is just epic.
Cheers mate and hope you enjoy it

thanks, I found out in person the $1,200 quote was actually for 1/2 hood & fender. Full front coverage $2k which i didn't like, and 1/2 hood & fenders looks awful with a noticeable line.

We than discussed further and via phone next day. And Mgr. told me he can do bumper and rocker panels for only $700. Than i asked how about full hood also & we came to agreement at $400. So $1,100 without fenders

Car is getting done Tuesday w/Wednesday pick-up. Have not driven car since to keep front end chip free & won't this weekend either.

can't wait until XPEL PPF is installed!!

I have had the same issue when taking pictures with my iPhone. Try holding the phone in landscape mode and not portrait mode and it should upload perfectly.

[yanks1]

I took them both ways Westside & didn't matter. I have iphone 8 is that matters and tried with my wife's newer iphone

I am not sure if it makes any difference but I am doing this with an iPhone 12 and it works for me. Hopefully the moderators can help you on this issue.
